Happy New Year!

December 31st is always an odd day. As the end of the year, we are usually quite glad to see the back of it...so it is kind of one of those unwanted days, but sure as heck great evenings!!!

I have loved Christmas - I've been away; family, friends, food...all the good stuff. Great gifts - nothing whatsoever crafty, but oh the Nigella cooking tools that now adorn my kitchen! I am in homemade cake heaven...

So what does 2008 hold in store?!

I made a few key{life changing} decisions in 2007. Not without personal pain... but the old addage about 'no pain, no gain' rings a little truer as a result.

Another one of those sayings (if you can bear more than one per blog entry) is that as one door closes... it seemed there were a few doors (and the odd preverbial window) swinging open. So I am more excited about 2008 than I have been about any new year beginning for quite a long time.

So whatever your glass is filled with this evening, may it be raised to great things happening in 2008 (and a hearty wish that any small children will unnaturally lay in tomorrow morning...wouldn't that be a real miracle?)

Moi, give up chocolate...?

The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands... a slightly entertaining look at how to make marriages last (and it is not about to pat us on the back and say 'job done' ladies...) Well written with good insights! Thanks Ruth for recommending... x

Just plain funny...

Blog Stalking... the perfect pastime

Ever want to know the meaning of Life... or at least how to live like you are dying (not as morbid as it sounds) then this is one book that can shed a little perspective on why keeping a scrapbook, and living like you mean it MATTERS!
